I thought you bought a Vita?
There's a certain standard of quality I expect each generational upgrade.
After today I don't think anyone can look at the gif at the top the same way again. My eyes. They've seen the light.
only people who like to play games, not look at them
Oh yes graphics aren't important for immersion or enjoyment right. Well that's why I also enjoy iOS games.
Oh here's another reason why I"m keeping my WiiU
There was a scene in the Square-Enix tech demo that looked a little similar to this. Going up in the sky and seeing a vast vista before you. Any GIFs of that made, yet?
Edit:
Vita/iOS lovers who trash Nintendo's graphical capabilities are an interesting lot.

I raise you the new Killzone gif!
But where are the mechs?
I may or may not buy a Wii U sometime in the future but it likely will be my only console if I decide to buy a new console.
I am not impressed with better graphics as I am with innovation. I mean, c'mon, how is better graphics going to offer type of games we haven't played before? To me the graphic capabilities of the PS3/360 are good enough. I would have been more impressed if Sony came out with a new way to interact with video games (the touchpad doesn't cut it). As far as I can see thanks to the Wii U gamepad there is going to be a lot of new games utilizing innovative gameplay mechanics not found elsewhere.
Others reasons why I will probably stick with Wii U: Most inexpensive, 1st party games, probably the best console for local multiplayer fun.

I like the x gif because it looks fun to get into a giant robot and fly away

There's less interesting games confirmed as PS3 exclusives, then there are for Wii U.

Nope. I am going with a PS4U combo this gen.
PS4 obviously trumps the Wii U graphically, but it doesn't have Nintendo's games or a touchscreen controller (as standard) + Miiverse features made possible with the GamePad.

No, WiiU and PS4 is the best combo you can have.

Guess you missed the second part of the demo.
The gameplay that didn't look anywhere near as impressive as that begging fly by scene?
No, I saw it.

This is what I'm thinking. Best of both worlds.

No. I bought the Wii U for Nintendo games. The PS4 debut was impressive, but I'm not sold on it yet. So far it's only solidified my goal of sticking with PC & Wii U for next gen.
I raise you the new Killzone gif!
I know in that X game i'll be able to fly to that waterfall, You will not be able to go down to that city and into the streets in that killzone game when ever you want....

How do you know what is or isn't off limits in a game we have barely seen and don't even know the actual sub-genre of?

It's almost as if they're completely different kinds of games or something.
KZ is clearly more technically impressive than X. They're both displaying a large world with great draw distance but there's a vast difference in the amount of detail and objects populating the scene - a difference that the Wii U can never hope to achieve. But that won't stop you guys from posting that gif from now to kingdom come, so whatever.
Anyway, to answer the thread: no. I'm sure there will be some great Wii U games eventually, and I wouldn't want to take the loss on returning it.
Page 2 of the thread (100 post per page version).
IIRC, the reveal trailer started of with the guy running around on foot. Came upon a giant dinosaur/monster and started killing it. "Oh, it's a Monster Hunter type game." Then he nonchalantly climbs up this mountain, climbs into a robot, and flies over the freaking landscapeohmygoodnesssoawesomemusthavethisgameadsfja;psdfjas;d....
X.gif is born.

Sure thing. How about you piss off. Thanks.
Is that why people are impressed? I thought it was because it look technically better than any game on a Nintendo platform so far.
Well the Killzone gif makes no sense then.
Missed that part of the speech, but thought there's a thread around that directly said that PS4 would not be backwards compatible.

Be careful, it's a trap! LoL
Obligatory "why not both.jpg?" and "can your iphone play Uncharted?" Yoshida tweet.
That costs too much money. If I had infinite money I would buy a PS4 day one
but it would be just be gathering dust in my mansion full of pinball and arcade machines

Was this really necessary? Just because he isn't interested in the PS4?
No. I think I can count on one hand the number of exclusives the PS3 got over its lifetime that I could not play on my PC (and, by extension, better on my PC) that I actually consider decent games. With a good rig, consoles serve only as first party machines and Nintendo is the only first party strong enough to convince me to buy their platform at launch now that I have a PC. (Although Platinum deserves equal credit this time around.) I would not be surprised if I go the next gen with just a Wii U and PC.
That said, if the Sony and MS exclusives come and actually look like good games to me, I'll buy their machines.

If you've played Xenoblade chronicles, then you know what type of game that is going to be. It's from the same exact creators of Xenoblade chronicles, Hell it even has the same type of interface.
